Stop believing everything you hear that sounds good to you and read the ACTUAL account in Genesis yourself.
I don't how many times I have pointed you folks to the account in Genesis. Apparently it doesn't work good for you, so you want to ignore it, even though there are so many Scriptures that make it absolutely and abundantly clear that God does not and will never approve of the perversion.

Obviously in light of the actual recorded account in Genesis, that is a misinterpretion in Ezekiel and you must go back to the Hebrew to figure out what went wrong in that translation to english.

Because as you read the account in Genesis chapter 19 you will see VERY PLAINLY that the men there were so filled with vile abominable lust for one another that they desired to have sex with the angels of God that visited Lot's house when they came to announce the mission to destroy Sodom and Gomorrah and the angels blinded those men.


Here, I will save you the trip.


Genesis 19:1-13
1And there came two angels to Sodom at even; and Lot sat in the gate of Sodom: and Lot seeing them rose up to meet them; and he bowed himself with his face toward the ground;


2And he said, Behold now, my lords, turn in, I pray you, into your servant's house, and tarry all night, and wash your feet, and ye shall rise up early, and go on your ways. And they said, Nay; but we will abide in the street all night.


3And he pressed upon them greatly; and they turned in unto him, and entered into his house; and he made them a feast, and did bake unleavened bread, and they did eat.


4But before they lay down, the men of the city, even the men of Sodom, compassed the house round, both old and young, all the people from every quarter:


5And they called unto Lot, and said unto him, Where are the men which came in to thee this night? bring them out unto us, that we may know them. <---this word "know", is a sexually intimate word in the Hebrew, just as Adam knew Eve and they bore a son.


How do we know it is that word "know"?

Because Lot offers the men his virgin daughters instead, as you will see in verse 7 below, because Lot feared what God would do to them, should they attempt such an abominable thing on the Angels of God.
Lot would not have offered his virgin daughters instead because the men were being idolatrous and inhospitable! LOL have mercy!

They were not looking to rape, but seduce and have sex with them.
There is absolutely no indication of that, and Lot would not have offered his daughter to be raped by them.



6And Lot went out at the door unto them, and shut the door after him,
7And said, I pray you, brethren, do not so wickedly.
8Behold now, I have two daughters which have not known man; let me, I pray you, bring them out unto you, and do ye to them as is good in your eyes: only unto these men do nothing; for therefore came they under the shadow of my roof.
9And they said, Stand back. And they said again, This one fellow came in to sojourn, and he will needs be a judge: now will we deal worse with thee, than with them. And they pressed sore upon the man, even Lot, and came near to break the door.
10But the men put forth their hand, and pulled Lot into the house to them, and shut to the door.
11And they smote the men that were at the door of the house with blindness, both small and great: so that they wearied themselves to find the door.
12And the men said unto Lot, Hast thou here any besides? son in law, and thy sons, and thy daughters, and whatsoever thou hast in the city, bring them out of this place:
13For we will destroy this place, because the cry of them is waxen great before the face of the LORD; and the LORD hath sent us to destroy it.




Sodom and Gommorrah wasn't destroyed for homosexuality. There is a list of reasons why it was destroyed (which I notice, you conveniently ignored). It was destroyed for rape and inhospitality, as well as idolatry.



Detestable things was the attempted rape of Lot and the angels, but for the most it was greed and selfish pleasure. Consenting homosexuality was never a part of it.

Hence why sodomy isn't homosexuality. We've simply perverted the word much like every other English word.

No one is boasting of their sinlessness here, and not only are we not boasting of our sinLESSness,
1 John 1:8-10 says "If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.

as well as we are not twisting the Word of God or eliminating or ignoring the Word of God to justify our sins either.

Romans 12:1
I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.

Romans 8:13-17

For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live. For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.
For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.
The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God:
And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together.



Committing a sin and living a lifestyle of sin are also two VERY DIFFERENT things. If any of us are living in sin, we need to repent, no matter who we are. We have no excuse to be bondslaves of sin because Jesus sent His Holy Spirit to live within us and empower us to be overcomers of sin, and walk after the spirit and not the flesh.

Does that mean we will never sin again? No, but we are able to live free of sinful lifestyles.

We are called to be our brothers keepers, so if you claim to be a brother or a sister and we don't tell you the truth, we are wicked, and God holds us accountable and your blood will be found on our hands when you go to hell because we did nothing to help you not to go there.

Brethren, if any of you do err from the truth, and one convert him; Let him know, that he which converts the sinner from the error of his way shall save a soul from death, and shall hide a multitude of sins. James 5:19-20



But if the watchman see the sword come, and blow not the trumpet, and the people be not warned; if the sword come, and take any person from among them, he is taken away in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at the watchman's hand. Ezekiel 33:6



No He didn't. He spoke out against their hypocrisy in boasting about how well they followed God's laugh and condemned others for not being "perfect".

Speaking of which, recall how Christ dined with sinners (theives and such) I don't remember Him ever dining with homosexuals.
